Reaction: It's a hit! Looks like one of our newer writers, Roy Horne, has the start of his first series with this one. It will be interesting to see what happens with this property.

"The tone is all over the place with this one. The script alternates between intense battle scenes (that will probably be frightening for much of the younger audience members) and goofy comedy with the gargoyles. The tonal shifts are often too jarring, and distract from the story." - Jeremy Raren, RottenTomatoes.com

"The medieval opening act is amazing. Hopefully they find a way to go back to that setting in the inevitable sequels. Gore Verbinski clearly had a blast directing those battle scenes, and they stand out from the rest of the film." - Mark Plainsview, ReelViews

"Director Gore Verbinski and writer Roy Horne have taken a pretty goofy concept and tried to make a fairly serious blockbuster film around it. At times it works well, but not consistently enough." - Shawn Moseby, Fresno Bee
